The 25G Ethernet Consortium has released a 25G/50G Ethernet specification to the public:

There's already product a-plenty on the market, but it still matters that the Google-led 25G Ethernet consortium has formalised the release of its technical specification. It follows the publication of the final report from last August's 25G/50G Ethernet plugfest. The plugfest demonstrated an impressive 882 25G link configurations (843 of which passed the test), and 360 50G link configurations (341 passed).

[...] As well as the specification (published by the 25G Consortium, registration required), the group will publish a list of certified integrators. In its statement, the 25G Consortium says the plugfest also demonstrated backwards compatibility (for example with 10 Gbps Ethernet connections).

    Or they could just give it to us hard. One big update only once and we all go to the final standard.

    Every two years some group of people comes together to make a 'specification'. They want to milk every little cent out of the people (on the face of it) but is actually there for mind-control. This is purely for control. They routinely develop compromised hardware and software to fight 'some enemy', which in fact, is us. They are our enemy. The system is our enemy.

    Maybe we should write a 'specification' to get rid of complete-control government. Then we can also write a specification for the final form of radio communication that does not limit bandwidth forcefully, and does not hurt human, animal and plant life. The current 'specifications' irradiate the hell out of us all.
